Pulte. Of course, a real estate guy. Makes sense, right?


Trump Names Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence


President Trump said he was naming Pulte, a home-building heir who runs the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to be the acting director of national intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard.

Senator Angus King, Independent of Maine, said that the appointment of Bill Pulte as the acting director of national intelligence “makes no sense.” King, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the job of coordinating the nation’s spy agency requires experience and expertise in national security.

“I’m puzzled by this appointment because of all the people involved in our intelligence agencies, and of all the people who work within our national security apparatus protecting Americans across the country and around the world, the president has chosen someone with no experience whatsoever in this complex and critically important field,” he said.


Kakistocracy + kleptocracy = Trumpism.

I suppose this will affirm the Dope's of the world in the wisdom of their choice of Trump to lead the country. And FOX 'news' will tell them why this is a brilliant appointment.

I'd add kratocracy: "government established by seizure utilizing force or deceit with rule maintained by strength", I might even add "kritocracy", which is rule by Judges, and here, it would be the MAGA POTUS judges making nonsense rulings, along with all the MAGA judges that Congress has been putting in place.

nope. The president merely has a superior take on which field is important. CNN:

From his office at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pulte played an extraordinary role in pushing the Justice Department to pursue some of its most eye-popping cases against the president’s personal foes.

An autocracy needs to control the judiciary. Trump and his cronies are trying their best.
